19:00 <Nightrose> Hey everyone :)
19:00 <Nightrose> Who's here for the goals office hour?
19:00 <d_ed> hello
19:00 <d_ed> I am here
19:00 <skadinna> hi! I'm here :)
19:00 <CarlSchwan[m]> I'm here :)
19:00 <ivan|home> Present, almost an hour early by mistake :D
19:01 <skadinna> apologies if my messages are delayed, I seem to have some sort of a lag
19:01 <Nightrose> yay :) that's already more people than i expected
19:01 <Nightrose> \o/
19:02 <Nightrose> So I wanted to take this time to answer and general questions about the goals and also talk through specific questions you have for any particular goal or provide tips for shaping them.
19:02 <ngraham> I'm here too
19:02 <Nightrose> Let's start with collecting topics you want to cover?
19:03 <d_ed> I don't have anything in particular
19:03 <Nightrose> ok
19:03 <Nightrose> skadinna: you wanted to talk about the documentation goal?
19:03 <Nightrose> what else?
19:03 <skadinna> In more general terms, I'd be interested to learn how success of the goals is evaluated/measured. And more specifically, I'd like to get some advice on what to do with my proposal, because I'm debating whether I should drop it.
19:04 <d_ed> I have my "enterprise goal" if people have comments on that
19:04 <Nightrose> *nod*
19:04 <Nightrose> link to all goals for those who need it: https://phabricator.kde.org/project/view/306/
19:04 <neofytosk[m]> skadinna: can you elaborate on what makes you consider dropping your proposal, it looks like a very solid goal!
19:04 <ivan|home> There are several privacy proposals that could be merged with the old one :)
19:05 <ivan|home> skadinna: neofytosk[m]: hear hear!
19:05 <Nightrose> ivan|home: yeah there are two. I asked them to not merge them with last year's ticket because it became very messy
19:05 <Nightrose> I also left a comment in one of them to figure out if the two new ones should be merged or if they can be made more distinct
19:05 <neofytosk[m]> ivan|home: my understanding is that we can re-boost old goals if they are voted again, and yes it makes sense to have a common proposal for all if they do overlap
19:06 ⇐ michaelweghorn quit (~michaelwe at 2001:a61:25ce:601:9738:fcb8:1bd3:7d73) Quit: Konversation terminated!
19:06 <neofytosk[m]> Nightrose: but they could be merged between them
19:06 <Nightrose> yeah privacy or something related can definitely go in again
19:06 <Nightrose> yeah
19:06 <neofytosk[m]> neat, that makes sense
19:06 <bshah|matrix> https://phabricator.kde.org/T11146 one of them is mine.
19:06 <Nightrose> bshah|matrix: hey :)
19:06 ⇐ notmart_ quit (~diau at kde/mart) Quit: notmart terminated!
19:07 <Nightrose> alright let's start with skadinna's specific questions
19:07 <skadinna> neofytosk[m]: sure! :) My original idea was this: reduce complexity to improve discoverability. Meaning, people can't read the docs or contribute to them if they can't find them. And they can't find them because they're split up into different locations, which introduces complexity. But then as I started receiving feedback on it, I realized that this centralization might not be possible or even desirable for a number of reasons
19:07 <skadinna> People seem to like the wikis even though they have some serious technical disadvantages. So moving things away from the wikis is out of the question
19:07 <bshah|matrix> I'm ultimately not sure if I should just merge it, or not? IMO topic of my goal is quite large, and distinct, that's why I had submitted another goal.
19:08 <Nightrose> I think you have identified a good problem (our documentation is hard to find)
19:08 <skadinna> Plus, there are probably good reasons for why some things are split up from the rest
19:08 <Nightrose> But there are many ways of fixing it
19:08 <Nightrose> And the goals usually shouldn't prescribe a solution
19:08 <Nightrose> centralizing documentation is just one way of solving the discoverability problem
19:08 <lamefun> "wikis [...] have some serious technical disadvantages" - which disadvantages?
19:08 <skadinna> Yeah, it's totally possible that I misunderstood what the goals are about :/
19:09 → ehustad joined (~ehustad at ti0063a400-1016.bb.online.no)
19:09 <Nightrose> The beauty is that as part of the current step we don't need the solution.
19:09 <Nightrose> We need to describe the change we want to see in the world.
19:09 <skadinna> lamefun: version history is clunky at best. search is not very intuitive, at least not for beginners/newcomers
19:09 <ivan|home> "And the goals usually shouldn't prescribe a solution" - I like it when they do - not as a 'written in stone' type of thing, but to give ideas to people joining the goal
19:09 <neofytosk[m]> skadinna: maybe the problem you identified is on the right path but through discussion you can consider different solutions. but as Nightrose mentioned, don't overthink the solution atm.
19:09 <Nightrose> And then we have time to discuss the proper solution later
19:10 <ngraham> either way, let's not get too caught up in implementation details right now
19:10 → michaelweghorn joined (~michaelwe at 2001:a61:25ce:601:9738:fcb8:1bd3:7d73)
19:10 <Nightrose> ivan|home: it is fine in the text to propose one way of going about it of course. but a few are focusing too much on the solution
19:10 <skadinna> I thought it was expected to provide at least one solution in the proposal, otherwise it would just seem as a lofty idea 
19:10 <Nightrose> skadinna: it certainly can be mentioned sure
19:11 <Nightrose> And if the goal is voted in then you have the whole community behind you to figure out the best way forward towards achieving the goal
19:12 <Nightrose> including a sprint and so on to help come to conclusions in-person if needed
19:12 <skadinna> There's another problem, though. I'm not sure how much time I'll be able to dedicate to this goal...I always do this to myself, I get all enthusiastic about something and start working on it but then I'm unable to commit to it fully because I just have too many oher things :/ I would hate for this goal to be selected and then it turns out I'm too busy to actually work on it
19:12 <skadinna> *other things
19:12 <Nightrose> *nod*
19:13 <Nightrose> In the last round we relied pretty heavily on the goal proposers. I'd like to find ways to make this a bit less so. But certainly the person proposing it should be willing to spend some time on it.
19:13 <Nightrose> We should brainstorm ideas around that later.
19:13 <skadinna> of course, that makes sense
19:14 ⇐ lamefun quit (~quassel at 94.181.159.231) Quit: https://quassel-irc.org - Chat comfortably. Anywhere.
19:15 <Nightrose> Do you want specific help with reformulating?
19:16 <skadinna> I think just a few general pointers should be enough...like, in which direction should I go? Or if there's a particular point you think I should focus on, what would that be?
19:16 <skadinna> And thank you :)
19:16 <Nightrose> Let me look at the text again
19:17 <skadinna> So I get that I shouldn't try to prescribe solutions right away, it should be more of a definition of the problem that is now open to different potential solutions?
19:17 <ngraham> in my experience (small sample size, of course) the goal proposes becomes seen as the leader of the goal and is expected to coordinate and put in some work
19:17 <Nightrose> Right.
19:17 <Nightrose> Ok so let's try to define the problem.
19:18 <Nightrose> Our users and developers have a hard time finding documentation? They don't know what documentation is where?
19:18 <Nightrose> The documentation is not good?
19:18 <neofytosk[m]> skadinna: try to think of it more as describing possible ways to approach the issue/goal than definite solutions
19:18 <Nightrose> As in wrong etc
19:18 <Nightrose> or something else?
19:19 ⇐ notmart quit (~diau at kde/mart) Quit: notmart terminated!
19:19 <ngraham> Nightrose: all of the above, really
19:19 <skadinna> From what I've seen, it depends on the project. Some are incomplete or outdated. I wouldn't say they're necessarily wrong. Just that they need some love
19:19 <Nightrose> :P
19:19 <ngraham> documentation hard to find, duplicated, out of date, not high quality, etc
19:19 <skadinna> But the main problem would be this lack of discoverability
19:19 <Nightrose> Ok
19:19 <vkrause> yep, docs.kde.org + 3 wikis
19:19 <skadinna> Like, some things are on userbase, some on techbase, people don't really know where to look for what
19:20 <Nightrose> So then let's look at it from the other angle: once the goal is "done" how is the world better?
19:20 <skadinna> And then they immediately react with "the docs suck!" even though they haven't even got to them
19:20 <DavidRedondo> Also api.kde.org for api docs
19:20 <Nightrose> *nod*
19:20 <skadinna> well, that's the trick. I asked how you measure/evaluate success or completion of a goal
19:20 <skadinna> because I don't see this goal ever being truly "done" :D
19:21 <CarlSchwan[m]> David Redondo: Api.kde.org has some tutorials too
19:21 <Nightrose> What I'm reading so far the answer is something like "our documentation is easily discoverable, complete, correct and helpful"
19:21 <Nightrose> does that match?
19:21 <skadinna> but yeah, the world is better if - this is just my vision - we have a modern, easy-to-use way to at least FIND the documentation
19:21 <DavidRedondo> I would also is in the right place
19:21 <skadinna> content improvements can come later
19:21 <DavidRedondo> *add everything
19:21 <skadinna> because that's a whole nother can of worms
19:22 <Nightrose> *nod*
19:22 <Nightrose> ok
19:22 <DavidRedondo> Like Carl said tutorials are currently in api.kde.org and also on the wikis
19:22 <Nightrose> So then "our documentation is easily discoverable"?
19:23 → tsdgeos joined (~tsdgeos at kde/aacid)
19:23 <vkrause> right, content needs continuous work, so the structure and infrastructure part is better suited for a goal project IMHO
19:23 <skadinna> that would be step 1, yeah. that's like a prerequisite for all other improvements, IMHO. when people can find what they need, find their way around the docs, they'll be able to contribute to improve the content
19:23 <Nightrose> ok
19:23 <yurchor> For ~15 years in KDE, I have tried to be translator, documentation writer and developer. An I can always find the documentation needed with google...
19:23 <skadinna> we're just hitting each other with IMHOs vkrause:D
19:23 <Nightrose> then I guess it is just a question of how big we want to make the goal
19:24 <Nightrose> yurchor: hehe
19:24 <CarlSchwan[m]> yurchor: hi :)
19:24 <skadinna> yurchor: ok, that's a valid point. but not everyone is like you. there are people who heard about Plasma or KDE yesterday
19:24 <skadinna> we want to be able to help them, too
19:25 <Nightrose> skadinna: i think yurchor was agreeing with you actually. it's not a good state
19:25 <ngraham> FWIW I also have an easier time finding KDE API docs using a web search
19:25 <skadinna> well I mean, you can always tell people to just google it, it's true
19:25 <yurchor> skadinna: If they do not want to collaborate, there will be no results. That's what I always tell to me students...
19:25 <vkrause> google might find it for you, but it's hard to see for new people what is still relevant in the google results
19:25 <tsdgeos> there's people that reported a security bug to bugs.kde.org
19:25 → orivej joined (~orivej at 185.189.113.83)
19:26 <tsdgeos> because they didn't bother to search "security kde" 
19:26 <skadinna> oh
19:26 <tsdgeos> there's not much we can do for people that don't search
19:26 <Nightrose> alright - let's focus on improving this goal proposal :D
19:26 <tsdgeos> sorry
19:26 — tsdgeos -> cave
19:26 <Nightrose> hehe all good
19:26 <skadinna> or just tell me if it can't be improved :) I won't cry
19:26 <skadinna> I promise
19:26 <Nightrose> no it totally can
19:27 <Nightrose> so we now have the state we want to reach (easily discoverable documentation for developers and users)
19:27 <Nightrose> I would look at the whole text again and especially the title with this in mind
19:27 <skadinna> yes
19:28 — neofytosk[m] already thinking how this is definitely also helping in onboarding, just left a comment on embedding Google Season of docs in the proposal.
19:28 <Nightrose> there are a number of ways this can be achieved
19:28 <Nightrose> * centralisation in one or two places
19:28 <Nightrose> * hiring a doc writer to clean up the places we have
19:28 <Nightrose> * build a search engine to search all the things
19:28 <Nightrose> * probably a ton I'm missing
19:29 <vkrause> * actually fix api docs generation which has been stuck since mid April
19:29 <Nightrose> :P
19:29 <skadinna> yes, those are pretty much all I could think of on the spot. with collaborative brainstorming we could come up with more
19:29 <Nightrose> skadinna: does that help you?
19:30 <Nightrose> yeah and you don't have to come up with all of them yourself or now
19:30 <Nightrose> that can be done later
19:30 <bshah|matrix> vkrause: I thought I fixed it? O.o
19:30 <bshah|matrix> I'll check tomorrow
19:31 <vkrause> bshah|matrix: still shows Apr 18 everywhere, and I don'T see any content updates
19:31 <Nightrose> Ok then let's look at your other question, skadinna. how is success measured?
19:31 ⇐ skadinna quit (~KDE at 141-138-41-247.dsl.iskon.hr) Read error: No route to host
19:32 <Nightrose> ohnoes we lost her :(
19:32 → skadinna joined (~KDE at 141-138-41-247.dsl.iskon.hr)
19:32 <Nightrose> ah back
19:32 <skadinna> huh, sorry, my connection dropped
19:32 <Nightrose> no problem
19:33 <Nightrose> I was going to your next question about measuring success
19:33 <skadinna> I was going to say - yes, this is great feedback! thank you for putting so much faith in my goal :)
19:33 <Nightrose> It depends on the goal how we measure the success of that individual goal
19:33 <Nightrose> but there is also a more global success behind the goals
19:33 <skadinna> just one more question: is it better if I rewrite the whole proposal, or should I leave the original text and add a new, improved one as a comment?
19:34 <Nightrose> We started the whole process to give the KDE community shared goals that we can rally behind together. This is important to have a shared direction in such a big and sometimes fragmented community.
19:35 <Nightrose> And to make it clearer to the outside world and newcomers what the community stands for and cares about at the moment.
19:35 <Nightrose> So success there is measured in how much community cohesion it can give us and how clear a story it allows us to tell the outside world.
19:36 <Nightrose> For the individual goals it is very much open for discussion and shaping by the proposer how they think they should measure success for their goal
19:36 <Nightrose> As for changing the proposal: just adapt the main description text so we have one source of truth what the proposal is and what people will vote on.
19:36 <neofytosk[m]1> skadinna: I would edit the proposal so everyone coming sees the latest updated version
19:37 → stikonas joined (~gentoo at wesnoth/translator/stikonas)
19:37 <skadinna> Right, that makes sense. I've gotten used to "businessy" terms like KPIs and OKRs the managers keep throwing around at my workplace, so I thought something like that was expected here as well
19:37 <Nightrose> You're welcome to bring them on but not neecessary :P
19:38 <skadinna> OK, thank you so much for all your help <3 I'll get down to rewriting the proposal based on your input
19:38 <skadinna> and then we'll see what happens, I guess :)
19:38 <Nightrose> Perfect :)
19:39 <Nightrose> If you need more help or have questions please reach out. I'm sure ngraham neofytosk[m] and ivan|home are also happy to help
19:39 <Nightrose> Ok what else did we have?
19:39 <neofytosk[m]1> yup
19:40 <Nightrose> bshah|matrix: do we want to talk a bit about the two privacy related proposals?
19:40 <Nightrose> I fear in the current state the votes could be split between them and give each less votes than they deserve.
19:40 <bshah|matrix> Sure.
19:40 <Nightrose> So it'd be good to make it clear how they differ
19:41 <bshah|matrix> Yes, if people think my goal is ultimately too close to the privacy goal, I'm happy to merge
19:41 <neofytosk[m]1> I think there are a couple for accessibility that could be merged in the same spirit
19:41 <Nightrose> bshah|matrix: I am not sure yet if they should be merged. Maybe maybe not
19:42 <Nightrose> Can you maybe talk a bit about your thoughts for your goal?
19:42 <Nightrose> neofytosk[m]: let's have a look at those too then next
19:42 <vkrause> when not merging, it might make sense to emphasis the consumer device focus in there more maybe, rather than privacy?
19:44 <bshah|matrix> vkrause: probably
19:44 <bshah|matrix> just as a note, the goal was basically inspired by both a) privacy goal and b) my work in PlaMo world
19:44 <Nightrose> that makes sense
19:44 → kbroulik joined (~quassel at kde/broulik)
19:45 <Nightrose> So your focus is on enabling creation of privacy-conscious consumer devices?
19:45 <Nightrose> specifically mobile?
19:45 <Nightrose> or general?
19:46 <bshah|matrix> Basic idea is, instead of corporations/startups etc making their own home-grown solution for various consumer devices, they use kde software, which have privacy in mind
19:46 <Nightrose> *nod*
19:46 <bshah|matrix> Sorry typiong on mobile so bit slow
19:47 <Nightrose> I think that is a good focus in general
19:47 <bshah|matrix> Nightrose: not just mobile, but everything smart* or IoTish basically which deals with user data ultimately
19:47 <Nightrose> Then maybe we need to clarify how the other one differs
19:47 <Nightrose> ok
19:47 ⇐ orivej quit (~orivej at 185.189.113.83) Ping timeout: 268 seconds
19:48 <bshah|matrix> Although I agree that my proposal is not worded properly maybe and there's room for improvement.. ideas welcome
19:48 <Nightrose> Looking over it quickly I guess merging the other one into yours and keeping your focus might be an option?
19:49 <ivan|home> The question is how and why consumer devices should be separated from, let's say, normal computers in this goal? If you have an answer to this, I fully support updating your goal as a separate one, otherwise, merging the two seems like a better idea.
19:49 <ivan|home> From my POV (since I'm not in your head :) ), privacy on devices is a subset of privacy.
19:49 <Nightrose> yeah
19:50 <Nightrose> and it might make sense to focus on the subset?
19:50 <Nightrose> not sure
19:50 <ivan|home> And people working on a goal can focus on the subset they want to work without the goal being focused
19:50 <bshah|matrix> ivan|home: IMO main reason this needs separate goal is, working on such devices is something we haven't done yet. It's totally new landscape for us potentially.
19:50 <bshah|matrix> (we == KDE community)
19:51 <ivan|home> Nightrose: maybe we can realize that the privacy goal is huge and that it will never end - and then have periods where we have focused-goals inside
19:51 <bshah|matrix> So we largely need outreach for this goal initially.
19:51 <vkrause> privacy isn't the distinguising factor, right, that's why I suggested to focus on consumer devices (enough work for its own goal), and leave privacy to another goal
19:51 <ivan|home> bshah|matrix: that I like
19:51 <Nightrose> ivan|home: yeah i think that would make sense
19:51 <vkrause> it's one selling point for our platform, but not necessarily the thing we have to focus on first (and we have a decent level compared to the alternative already)
19:52 <Nightrose> vkrause: you don't think that's our distinguishing factor? (or should be)
19:52 <Nightrose> Or?
19:52 <vkrause> it's not a distinguishing factor to non-consumer device work we do, ie. we want privacy independent of the target hardware
19:52 <bshah|matrix> vkrause: I can potentially re-write whole goal to be focused on "selling" our platform/framworks/plasma for consumer devices
19:52 <Nightrose> ahhhh yes!
19:53 <vkrause> but consumer devices is quite different from other things we do, so that makes the much clearer goal IMHO
19:53 <Nightrose> bshah|matrix: could be an option, yeah. and then leave the privacy part to the other one
19:53 <Nightrose> *nod*
19:54 <ivan|home> Then bshah's proposal could swallow up the touchscreen and wayland ones :)
19:55 <Nightrose> good point
19:55 <bshah|matrix> nom nom
19:55 <bshah|matrix> 😜
19:55 <Nightrose> they are a bit thorny atm anyway because they are very solution/technology focused
19:55 <neofytosk[m]1> if we continue merging we will end up with 3 proposals before the voting =P
19:55 <Nightrose> at least the wayland one
19:55 <Nightrose> neofytosk[m]: lol
19:56 <Nightrose> neofytosk[m]: so far we haven't merged any today :P
19:56 <Nightrose> bshah|matrix: do you want to talk it through more or sleep on it?
19:56 <ivan|home> neofytosk[m]1: wouldn't that be grand - and all of them would be accepted then
19:57 ↔ barchiesi nipped out  
19:58 <bshah|matrix> About two goals, I think touchscreen goal makes sense as separate one.
19:59 <Nightrose> Does anyone have an idea for making this a bit more appealing? I mean touchscreen support is great but it is a bit dry and as good as the previous goals when it comes to telling stories around them.
19:59 <Nightrose> The touchscreen and wayland ones
20:00 <neofytosk[m]1> how about a theme around utilizing modern technology?
20:00 <Nightrose> that could work
20:01 ⇐ kbroulik quit (~quassel at kde/broulik) Ping timeout: 245 seconds
20:01 <DavidRedondo> Perfect controllability on all devices or something like that? re touchscreen
20:01 <Nightrose> yeah that also sounds better
20:01 <bshah|matrix> I think touchscreen goal is ultimately tech-centric. But that's not necessarily bad.
20:01 <skadinna> Future-Proof Plasma or something like that
20:01 <Nightrose> bshah|matrix: right. but we need to be able to tell a story and make it appealing
20:02 <ngraham> Nightrose: It already seems appealing abough IMO; just look at the list of people who want to help make it happen
20:02 <Nightrose> hehe fair enough
20:02 <ngraham> I think having this one be tech-centric makes sense
20:02 <vkrause> I think the touchscreen one will be appealing to those having such a device, without much story-telling even, but not much for everyone else. the wayland one is harder to "sell" I think
20:02 <Nightrose> yeah wayland is even harder
20:03 <Nightrose> ok so why do we care about wayland?
20:03 <Nightrose> how does it make everyone's life better?
20:03 <neofytosk[m]1> it's the futureTM
20:03 <Nightrose> haha
20:03 <vkrause> it's basically "your life wont be worse than with X" atm
20:04 <Nightrose> :P
20:04 <Nightrose> So far i'm not sold, sorry ;-)
20:05 <Nightrose> (mind you I'm not saying it doesn't make sense and we shouldn't have it)
20:05 <ivan|home> vkrause: +1
20:05 <Nightrose> maybe future-proofing our tech is the closest indeed
20:06 <bshah|matrix> So point about both touch and wayland goal is, Plasma team have this as their main goal already from forever. This goal is about, can community help it do faster and Better?
20:07 <bshah|matrix> We can word both goals around that basically I think
20:07 <Nightrose> bshah|matrix: ok. why do you have it for years?
20:07 <skadinna> all I can think of right now are terrible marketing blobs like "Next-Gen Readiness"
20:07 <Nightrose> :D
20:08 <ivan|home> bshah|matrix: and how do you expect KDE Goal TM to bring in more people than just Plasma team annoys everyone with Wayland on planetKDE? :)
20:08 <Nightrose> lol
20:08 <Nightrose> well it's fair to say that the goals should help get other and new people in for working on a topic
20:09 <vkrause> and it's not just affecting plasma, some applications also need to do some work for this
20:09 <Nightrose> vkrause: like making UIs more touch-friendly?
20:10 <vkrause> that too, I was thinking about wayland support though
20:10 <Nightrose> k
20:10 <skadinna> maaaybe we can present it like an inclusivity story? like hey, we're providing support for all these different shapes and sizes of devices/screens
20:11 <Nightrose> could work. might make it too broad. not sure
20:11 ⇐ stikonas quit (~gentoo at wesnoth/translator/stikonas) Quit: Konversation terminated!
20:11 <skadinna> yeah it sounded better in my head
20:11 — ivan|home in merging mood:
20:11 <vkrause> might work better on bshah's device goal than the touch one
20:11 → stikonas_ joined (~gentoo at wesnoth/translator/stikonas)
20:11 <Nightrose> :D  we're here to look at all the things
20:11 <ivan|home> then we can merge accessibility into it :)
20:12 <Nightrose> haha

20:12 <ivan|home> AND language inputs
20:12 <Nightrose> We need to also be a bit careful to not merge to the point where it is too broad and doesn't help us :D
20:12 <Nightrose> how about "let's make everything better" :P
20:13 <neofytosk[m]1> I would vote for that =D
20:13 <ivan|home> :)
20:13 <Nightrose> =D
20:13 <bshah|matrix> Nightrose: and unicorns!
20:13 <bshah|matrix> And rainbows
20:13 <Nightrose> bshah|matrix: they make everything better so that's a done deal
20:14 <Nightrose> aaaaaanyway - let's get back to the wayland one for a sec
20:14 <Nightrose> I am still not clear on what the reasons are for it. Is it just future-proofing and moving with the newest tech?
20:14 <vkrause> ivan|home: they all touch the same technology (input handling), but wondering if the result still would be a convincing story
20:14 <Nightrose> Or is there more?
20:16 <vkrause> we need it because the linux world is moving to wayland, we could of course then also iterate the reasons why wayland is superior (like actually having a security model)
20:16 <Nightrose> I think that'd be useful
20:17 ⇐ Venemo quit (~venemo at fedora/Venemo) Ping timeout: 245 seconds
20:18 <skadinna> just asking and not intending to derail the conversation - in general, is it acceptable (to you) to have a standalone goal that's so tech-specific? it's a bit like if my goal was "implement algolia for documentation", no?
20:19 <neofytosk[m]1> in my mind moving to wayland seems like a too narrow of a goal that only some part of our community can contribute to. Merging it with another goal under a more broad umbrella would help to get more people feel they can contribute to it.
20:19 <skadinna> I'm getting the same impression neofytosk[m]1
20:20 <ivan|home> +1
20:20 <neofytosk[m]1> yeah I was half way into typing this when I saw your message =)
20:20 <Nightrose> From what i'm hearing so far it could go under a "better tech/future-proofing our tech" or "privacy/security" umbrella
20:20 <vkrause> I don't think it's the best goal we have (in terms of goaliness), and it's something we will be forced to do anyway, not something we ultimately chose as direction
20:21 <Nightrose> <3 goaliness
20:21 <Nightrose> ;-)
20:22 <Nightrose> alright let's sleep on it a bit more and then make some suggestions on the ticket
20:22 <Nightrose> Any other topics we should look at?
20:23 <skadinna> I think it's worth asking again in the promo channel for some help regarding the "catchiness" of goal proposals and titles. I don't think people ignored you Nightrose, it's just that you happened to ask at a time when there weren't many people active in the channel. So I can bump the question for you
20:24 <Nightrose> that'd be lovely
20:24 <SGOrava> Stupid question; When will begin massive migration to GitLab ?
20:25 einar77_work → einar77
20:25 <Nightrose> SGOrava: hope bshah|matrix and neofytosk[m] can give you some insights after the office hour
20:25 <Nightrose> If there are no other topics to cover for the goals I think we can wrap it up?

20:26 <neofytosk[m]1> how about the accessibility proposals
20:27 <Nightrose> ah yes
20:27 <Nightrose> neofytosk[m]: which ones do you cound under that atm?
20:27 <Nightrose> There is one explicit accessibility goal
20:27 <neofytosk[m]1> 11054 and 11074 seem related
20:28 <Nightrose> I think i would keep those separate
20:28 <Nightrose> One is about making it more accessible for people from different writing systems etc
20:29 <Nightrose> the other one for people with physical impairments of some kind
20:29 <Nightrose> those seem pretty different to me
20:29 → fbg13 joined (~george at 86.120.139.57)
20:29 <vkrause> yep, overlapping technologies, but very different story/use-case
20:29 <Nightrose> that's at least how i read them
20:29 <neofytosk[m]1> sure, I don't have a strong opinion on it, just thought to mention it to see what others think
20:29 <Nightrose> *nod*
20:30 <Nightrose> Other thoughts?

20:31 <Nightrose> If not I think we can call it done for today?
20:32 <Nightrose> If no-one objects I'd like to send a log to the community list.
20:32 <Nightrose> Thanks everyone for coming. This was productive :)
20:33 <Nightrose> Let's see how we can adjust the goals in the next days.
20:33 <skadinna> I think I don't have any more comments or questions. Just wanna thank you all for our advice, you helped me so much
20:33 <neofytosk[m]1> +1
